Looking forward to 2015

I have a HUGE spreadsheet of titles coming out in 2015 that I keep for my own covetous pleasure (and for my reviewing job with Library Journal), but I figured I could share some of the titles I am most excited about in 2015. This is not everything that’s being published (those looking for great forthcoming calendars for SF should visit Sword & Laser or Rising Shadow, who both do a great job). Keep in mind, the farther out I get, the more likely the dates of publication might shift and I’ve only linked to the titles through March. Since I have to read a few months ahead for my reviewing job, I’ll mark some of my favorites if I’ve already reviewed.
